Hughes, though he's still a progressive at this point so not much of an improvement over Wilson.

Hughes, Wilson may be more progressive and populist,which are obvious pluses. But he's also a flaming racist, elitist, and given the Espionage Act...sorry but no.

This, especially considering (from a retrospective opinion) Wilson's second term was a complete f[inks]ing disaster. Cocked up his pre-War activity, coked up the war itself, cocked up the Treaty of Versailles and was completely incapacitated for the latter half.

Hughes, although I'd have gone for Wilson at the time/without hindsight.

Hughes, a very easy choice.  Wilson is a deplorable candidate.
